I suspect the code is wrong as of LLVM 2.6 which introduced a new requirement: 
the initialize_native_target function must be called before the JIT is 
created, in order to initialize the available target architectures. 
Otherwise, the JIT will not initialize.

This breaking change was described in the OCaml Journal article "LLVM 2.6 
support and a new HLVM garbage collector" (23rd October 2009).
